Just ranting dude.... Not a misogynist in anyway, but you're right, I sound like one. Not saying men aren't capable of this! I guess my rant is more directed to those who are generally careless, especially of other peoples belongings.

Don't worry OP, we won't think of you as a misogynist. Everyone here considers their car to be their life partner so we all understand how you feel. If it makes you feel better, this happened to me my first week of college in Manhattan. I parked away from everyone else, went inside for 5 minutes to get a sandwich, and then walked out to this. No notes or contact info or anything. $5000 repair fee and severe depreciation.

Whoa man, calm down. Your rant is borderline misogynist. Remember that everything's going to be OK and that it's only a car. Lets not generalize here, 90% of all people, both men and women, don't care about other peoples belongings. It's just life.

absolutely correct. There is no place for sexism or a misogynist---if you didn't think that way you wouldn't have said it. 90% (probably more) of ALL people don't care! Most people suck, and I get pissed off at them just like you would.... race, color, gender, doesn't matter!

I had admitted that it was wrong to say misogynist comments as it distorted the whole purpose of this thread and more importantly mislead you all to thinking I am a person lacking morals and ethics. Most of you replied to share your thoughts on my "misogynistic post" rather than wish me luck and I take blame for this. Although I previously admitted it was wrong and edited my OP after only one or two comments, I will apologize one more time. A man is completely 100% capable of committing such a thing, and I even stated so in a response to Sehr Schnell. If it was an old fellow who hit my car, women would have been replaced with "old people." It was me just misplacing my anger.

It sucks to have a bunch of people attacking me, but you know what, it means I did something wrong, so I'll learn from it!

PS: I absolutely love women.... Or is that too generalized ?

Ugh! Hate to see this man! This definitely enlightens my situation as the damage done to your car is far worse!

First time was my brand new 05 350z side swiped completely down the passenger side 5k in damage. Second was a brand new 08 evo x. Someone opened there door extra hard and left a beautiful crease in the passenger door. These are the reasons that led me to buy my ///M used. It all boils down to how people are raised. I would leave a note if i backed into a bicycle. Btw I'm in west Milford i work in Lincoln park, best of luck neighbor.

Thanks for the kind support! Nice to know were from the same area
That is what bothers me the most. I would never leave the scene of hitting a car. And if I ever did, the guilt would kill me.

Sorry to hear about your incident. I've had this happen three times in the past-fortunately not yet with my M. Only once was it "just a crease in the metal", the others it was major damage to quarter panel and broken out tail lights, etc.

I even had a time when I was sitting in the car, a lady pulls up next to me in a truck and opens her door hard enough to actually shake my car from the impact. I get out and look at it and she just looks at me like, "What's your problem" and walks off.

"AND walks off"?! now that is some serious shit. Shit would have hit the fan if that was me. If it happened to me, that person better 1. apologize and 2. whip out their insurance card cuz it's gonna cost them.
